Ted Woolsey
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Ted Woolsey was the translator for various Square games, such as Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger. Contrary to common assumption, he did not translate Final Fantasy IV, which can be seen in the endgame credits of Final Fantasy II US. He is known for his creative translations, and being responsible for memorable quotes such as Kefka's "Son of a submariner!".
He is known as the first translator to have not translated directly and have created a flowing script and storyline. While some despise his translations, some others praise his work in creating coherent scripts for the mainstream RPG-playing community.
